<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It depends on what you consider success! I could
pick up a lot of FAI trophies in D2 because we seem to have more trophies than
entries. Some Masters pilots have been flying FAI so they can judge
Masters!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think Masters is doing fine with the current
direction: It can be flown with precision. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In my eyes, FAI is getting a little subjective.

<DIV> Amen except for this statement</DIV>
<DIV>"Most of us think FAI is tougher all around than AMA Masters... no

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> In my area AMA Masters fliers out rank FAI 4 to 1. It
makes the Masters class competition really harder than the FAI. Granted that
the elite gravitate to FAI but that number is as low as 20 fliers in the
whole country. Many great fliers in the US opt to stay in AMA Masters. Also
the new manuevers in Masters are just about as hard and poweerplant
demanding as the FAI's. Mike<BR><BR><B><I>John Ferrell

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lets summarize a little:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Two strokes & four strokes both work but
most of us would prefer electric were it not so costly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Most of us think FAI is tougher all around than

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The guys who win the most are more likely to be

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A power plant that does not meet an individuals

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The guys at the top seem to be able to do well
with whatever equipment they get their hands on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in conclusion, It will take more than a new
Brio with a DZ/Hacker/two stroke-of -the-day to make me a contender!
Fortunately, it will not keep me from enjoying the game. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mike, I do not want to get into a 4c vs 2c
discussion, since whatever works for each flier is what they should, and
most do, use and fly. I doubt any top flier would use something as a
sponsorship, that would not give him the the best chance of
winning.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
